Re: FT: Urban Renewal?
Meanwhile weeds grow through the cracks in the pavement in front of the shuttered crumbling building that once was the bowling alley.
The old suburban 3-screen movie theater has condos in its place: the Megaplex is just 2 exits up the highway.
The pool hall's a pool store, and the Elks live in Yellowstone not that building down the road that stale old rumors say once held functions, dances, and cheap drinks in a bar.
Community centers and youth centers sit shuttered next to poorly maintained basketball courts. The taxpayers didn't want them. The foundations didn't care about suburbia.
The old five and dime still has a sign on the shuttered strip in the center of town, in front of which ne'er do wells sit planning how to get 2 exits up without a car or bus to buy some drawers at the Wal Mart out next to that Megaplex.
